V. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Request for_Munici al Industrial Development_Bonds in the amount of=$340,000-00
for Frana & Sons (Resolution No.Bob Ryan,Ryan, Ryan Development, builder and developer of the Lake Ridge Office Park,
spoke to the request. Also in attendance were Gary Frana, Tom Ryan, and Pat
Ryan. Ryan stated that this request is for the fifth building out of a total
of fourteen buildings. This request is similar to four others which have come
before the Council recently.
Gary Frana explained that they are General Contractors and this would be
their office facility.
Tangen asked whether or not Ryan Development expects every building which
comes into their project to come in for this special financing. Tom Ryan
responded that a good number of them may very well request Municipal Indus-
trial Development Bonds if they are owner occupied. He pointed out that
a small businessman is afforded the opportunity of owning his own building
just as a large corporation is able to do.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 81-122, requesting Municipal Industrial Develop-
ment Bonds in the amount of $340,000.00 for Frana & Sons. Motion carried
unanimously.
6 . Request for Municipal Industrial Development Bonds in the a_mo_unt of $_2,300,000
for Val_]ey Place Of face Associates rResal ution No. 81-123) - ~ }
Jeff Halpern, Halpern & Druck, representing GSJ Developments, spoke to the
request.
City Council Minutes -4- July 7 , 1981
Chuck Garrity , one of the partners in GSJ Development, further explained
the development which will be known as Valley Place Office Associates .
He went on to say that 4 or 5 of the 9 buildings will be entirely owner
occupied while the others would be 40 - 60%' owner occupied with the remaining
space rented . Building owners will form the partnership. A quit claim deed
will be given to William Bearman for the 11 foot strip which had been under
dispute.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No . 81-123, requesting Municipal Industrial Develop-
ment Bonds in the amount of $2,300,000.00 for Valley Place Office Associates .
Motion carried unanimously .
C . Lake Trail Estates Rezoning by Swenson & Schwartz. Request to rezone Pots y.
1 and 2, Block 1 and lots 5 & 6, block 2 from R1-13.5 to RM 6.5 for duplexes .
Located along Carnelian Lane & north of TH 5. (Ordinance No. 81-10)
Arvid Schwartz, Swenson & Schwartz , reviewed the location of the four lots,
and stated that the oti-,ner s of lot 4, block 2, and lot 3 , block 1 have no
objections for lot 2, block 1 and lot 5, block 2 being duplexes.
Planning Director Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this
request at its June 8, 1981 meeting and voted (3-1) to recommend approval
for the rezoning change for lot 1 , block 1 , but to deny the rezoning for
the remaining lots . The matter was not reviewed by the Parks, Recreation
and Natural Resources Commission.
Bentley asked what the main reason for the request is. Schwartz said there
is no market for single family dwellings on those lots because adjacent lots
have been zoned for duplexes.
Mark Stadind , 7656 Carnelian Lane, said he knew at the time he purchased his
home that three duplexes were to be built. He is against the request before
the Council .
Bill Pearson , owner of one of the duplex lots (0) , stated he is preparing to
build on that lot and is considering purchasing another duplex lot should one
become available.
Nancy Holt, 17200 Park Circle, would not like to see the density increased
and therefore is against the requested rezoning.
Jim Taylor, 7741 Heritage Road, recently moved to Eden Prairie because he
felt the hoflies here woUld have a good resale value and compared well with
Edina as an up and going community. He feels there are other areas in the
community which can be used for this type of development.
Pearson stated he is an Eden Prairie resident and business owner. He feels
that dupl exe-, a f ford,!!1 �- housing and there is a need for that in Eden
Prairie.
e�
City Council Minutes -5- July 7 , 1981
Raymond Ince, 17210 Park Circle , wondered why the developer does not sell
all the single family lots before attempting to sell the duplex lots. r
Schwartz responded that of the 46 lots in Lake Trails all but 13 have been
sold. Four of these remaining 13 are those under discussion. The reason
Swenson & Schwartz have not come before the Council before this time is
that they wanted the owners of the lots around those they wish to have re-
zoned to be aware of what they wish to do.
t
Ken Geason , 7621 Atherton Way, stated he has been a resident of this area
for 11 years and has appeared before the Council every two years regarding
development in this area . He feels the City does not follow up on what
developers have agreed to do. The same issues are refought year after year.
He is tired of hearing about rezoning.
Mr. and Mrs. John Henry, 17250 Park Circle, were unable to be at the meeting ,
but called to say they wished to go on record as being in favor of the recommen-
dation of the Planning Commission and opposed to the developer's request.
Bentley stated he is afraid this could open a real Pandora's Box within the
community -- if market conditions dictate specific parcel zonings.
Tangen commended the Planning Commission for a job well done on this issue.
He concurred with Bentley's remarks.
Edstrom agreed and spoke in favor of rezoning only one lot. Bentley questioned
the validity of rezoning only one lot. Penzel said this should probably have
been done when this area was originally rezoned and the one duplex lot fronting ;
on Highway 5 would create a buffer. Tangen said this would not be setting a
precedent because there are already duplex lots in the area .
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hearing;
to deny the request to rezone lot 2, block 1 and lots 5 & 6, block 2; and
to give 1st Reading to Ordinance 81-10, rezoning lot 1 , block 1 from R1-13.5
to RM 6.5 subject to the recommendations contained in the Staff Report and
subject to the developer' s agreement. Motion carried unanimously.
Carol Scott, 7691 Heritage Road, asked if the residents can now consider the
case closed. Penzel replied there is nothing in the law that prevents one
from makiny such a request -- however, once a request has been denied, it can
not be considered again for twelve months.
D. Street and Utility Improvements on Sunnybrook Road between Homeward Hills_
Road- and 0lyrnpic_ Hills 6th Addition , I.C. 51-j81 Resolution No. 81-126)
City Manager Jullie stated the feasibility report for this project had come
before the Council earlier, at which time this Public Hearing was ordered.
City Engine. -r Diet., explaincwd that the total project costs will be about
$165,000 for sanitary sewer, water mains , paving, concrete curb and gutter,
and a modest amount of storm sewer on Sunnybrook Road from Homeward Hills
Road east to Olympic Hills 6th Addition . The developer of Olympic Hills 6th,
h
City Council Minutes -6- July 7, 1981
anticipating some resistance from Sunnybrook Road homeowners , agreed to
pay the lateral water and sewer benefit for the entire project.
-r
Larry Russell , 12101 Sunnybrook Road, read a letter (contained as an addendum
to the minutes) from Curtis S. Connaughty and Mary Connaughty of 11860 Sunny-
brook Road in which they protested the recommended road assessment. Russell
said the only one who benefits from a project of this kind is the developer.
Ted Allen, Attorney for the Faulks and the Reynolds who are major landholders
in this area , stated that the benefit of this project does not go to those
who are being assessed.
Penzel asked how the proposed assessment compares with those normally assessed.
Dietz explained that adjacent property owners would be paying about 53% of the
cost of the street, and water and sewer for the project. In most cases the prop-
erty owners would be paying considerably more than this amount. A typical
assessment for sewer and water on an average lot runs about $5,000; in this
instance, because Olympic Hills 6th developers are picking up a large part of
the cost, the assessment will be a little over 50% of that.
Mrs. Russell , 12101 Sunnybrook Road, questioned the need for a Class A road
on Sunnybrook Road.
Dietz explained this would be the same road construction as that further
east in the Olympic Hills 6th Addition.
Larry Peterson , representing The Preserve, said the road would be similar to
that of other City streets and is what was required by the City of Eden Prairie.
Mrs . Russell stated that present Sunnybrook Road residents are content with
a gravel road and see no need for the proposed improvement.
Peterson spoke to the role of The Preserve in the area of special assessments.
Dean Faulks, representing his son Donald Faulks from Burnsville, said they
had shared an assessment with The Preserve for park property.
Allen expressed a desire to see the assessment placed on the properties which
would be benefited and not on those west of Olympic Hills 6th.
Tangen asked for comparative figures between they type of road proposed and
a typical residential street.
Bentley questioned the need for such a street in this area .
Jullie explained the road design is identical to that on Luther Way. Soil
factors dictate the depth of surfacing.
City Council Minutes -7- July 7, 1981
t
Mrs . Russell asked if Homeward Hills Road would be extended to the south
of Sunnybrook Road. Penzel said it would and that it would be 48' wide ;
it would be the major north-south street between Franlo and TH 169. -
Hakon Torjesen, 6605 Rowland Road, wondered about the size of the road --
did City Staff feel there was "play" in the 32 ' width? Dietz stated he
felt a 32 ' street was justified.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Tangen , to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution 81-126, ordering improvements and preparation of
plans and specifications for Sunnybrook Road ( I .C. 51-381 ) . Motion carried
unanimously .

VI . PAYMENT OF CLAIMS NOS. 7089 - 7407 x
t
MOTION: Moved by Tangen, seconded by Bentley, to approve Payment of Claims
Nos. 7089 - 7407. Roll call vote: Bentley, Edstrom (abstained on #7315) ,
Tangen, and Penzel voted "aye". Motion carried unanimously.
VII . REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
. regarding A. Planning Commission communication re ardin unauthorized site work at
City West by ADI .
City Manager Jullie explained that the City West property is located
north and east of new Shady Oak Road and south of the 62 Crosstown .
He spoke to Planning Director Enger's memo of July 1 , 1981 , in which
the unauthorized grading and site development was discussed .
City Attorney Pauly spoke to the Ordinance which deals with the altera-
tion of land and which does require a permit. The site work being done
by ADI seems to be in violation of that Ordinance.
Penzel expressed irritation with the developer. Bentley stated it shows
a blatant breach of the Ordinance, and that the penalty clause should be
invoked.
Craig Anderson, representing ADI , said they had discovered recently from
the DNR that they are in violation of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District
because they have moved in more than 100 yards of material , The intent of
ADI was not to alter the land in any way, but to create access so the land
can be shown to prospective buyers .
Scott Anderson , also representing ADI , stated that some of the excessive
amount of dirt --- that along Shady Oak Road -- is due to the sewer and
water construction and that has been authorized.
Jullie concurred that the sewer and water work along Shady Oak Road has
been authorized , but that interior grading does not seem to be associated
with the pipe installation . .
Edstrom asked that the City Attorney look at the site and made a determination.
City Council Minutes -8- July 7, 1981
Tangen asked if there had been other difficulties with ADI complying
with City Ordinances in the past. Jullie said there had been .
MOTION: Bentley moved , seconded by Edstrom, to refer the matter to the
City Attorney for appropriate action. Motion carried unanimously.
VIII . PETITIONS, REQUESTS, & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Fairway Wood 3 Plat by Laukka _& Associates. Request to preliminary plat
15 acres zoned R-M 2.5 for 120 condominiums located northwest of existing
Fairway Wood, and approval of developer's agreement for revised PUD (Re-
solution No. 81-124)
Edstrom indicated he would abstain from discussing and voting on this
request because his law firm represents Mr. Laukka.
Larry Laukka , representing Laukka & Associates, spoke to the proposal ,
the development of which would be done in four phases .
City Engineer Dietz addressed the sidewalk issue. It would be desirable
to have a sidewalk through the area ; the sidewalk could be closer to the
back of the curb, if necessary.
Planning Director Enger said he had spoken with Frank Burg, BRW, about
the sidewalks. A curb walk would be acceptable on the south side of the
area . The sidewalk would be on the north side in the proposed area of
development . The residents of Fairway Wood would have to dedicate the
right-of-way for the sidewalk. They must be willing to accept the type
of sidewalk before they will do this .
Don Anderson , 14312 Fairway Drive, asked why the trail which is along
Valley View Road and is proposed along Mitchell Road would not be adequate
-- why is a sidewalk necessary along Fairway Drive through the entire develop-
ment?
Director of Community Services Lambert said there will be an 8' trail on
Valley View and Mitchell , but there is still a need for a sidewalk along
Fairway Drive because Fairway Drive would be a natural connector/short cut '
and it would also serve the residents - particularly children - within
the development,
Bentley wondered if a sidewalk from the west end of the southern parking
lot to the golf cart crossing on the northern end had been considered .
This would provide internal useage and might alleviate some of the other
problems which have been mentioned. Lambert stated it should make the
connections which are necessary to connect various transportation trails
and is necessary for pedestrian use.
L . E. Bran,.•!^11 , 143?9 Fairwciy Drivf! , said he doe, not look forward to look-
ing at any riore ceincrit if they can help it.
City Council Minutes -9- July 7, 1981
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Perizel , to adopt Resolution No. 81-124,
Capproving the preliminary plat of Fairway Wood 3rd; and instructing Staff
to meet with Fairway Wood residents to work out a sidewalk plan which z
would be acceptable. Motion carried with Edstrom abstaining.
B. Thorn Creek Plat by Meat Cutters Pension Fund. Request to preliminary plat
8 7ot5 on 61 acres for cumn�erciah and office uses . Located east and adjacent
to US 169-212 and north of Valley View Road (Resolution No. 81-125)
David Kirscht, representing the Meat Cutters , spoke to the proposal using
slides which covered the location, drainage, roads, grading plan, slopes,
access points , and vegetation. He expressed concern, however, on the
part of the proponent, regarding the additional 17' of right-of-way to
be added to County Road 39 (Valley View Road) .
Planning Direc�:or Enger said this matter had been discussed by the Planning
Commission at its June 22, 1981 meetingjat which time they voted to recommend
approval of the preliminary plat by a vote of 6---0, Along with the recommmenda-
tions contained in the June 19, 1981 Staff Report; they asked Staff to work
with the developer on a solution for a pedestrian circulation plan; to have
Staff work with the County concerning the County Road 39 right-of,way pro-
blem; and to have Staff and developer work on other problems dealing with
the right-of-way. Enger stated a pedestrian system had been agreed to in
the PUD concept. A sidewalk to the area to the north (Michelangelo Gardens)
wouldallow people living in that area and working in the Thorn Creek area
to walk to and from work. Penzel said he works in an industrial area in which
many walk to lunch, walk for recreation during the noon hour, or jog; and he
feels strongly that sidewalks are a necessity,
Director of Community Services Lambert said the Parks , Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission had not reviewed this since last August,
Edstrom questioned the practicality of the roadway system won't the southern
access be the preferred one since it is closest to 169/2.12? Rick Sathre, also
representing the Meat Cutters , said that is probably true but that more money
is being spent to develop an outstanding main entrance -- one which the casual
visitor would be more likely to use, Enger explained that this question had
been raised by the Planning Commission also. The common thought by the Planning
Commission was that if the developer is willing to spend money on an entrance
further east on Valley View Road that was his prerogative. Sathre explained
that originally this "main" entrance was not in the plan, but was put in to
make circulation safer because the original plan had just called for a long
cul -de-sac into the development,
Paul Enblom, 10,310 Valley Vies•! Road, said he is pleased with the sensitivity
of the proposed development.
Discussion core t i hued on connecting the road to the north throunh the project with
that propr)-,c:cf in the tlicholangclo Gardens development. -

MOTION; Tangen moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt Resolution No. 81-125,
approving the preliminary plat of Thorn Creek Place ; incorporating the recom-
mendations of the Staff Report and Planning Commission. Motion carried unan-
imously.
Penzel requested consideration be given for a name for the road way within
this plat as one will be necessary very soon .
C. Addendum to the CPT Developer' s _Agreement
City Manager Jullie spoke to the Agreement which has been reviewed by
City Attorney Pauly. Pauly has recommended that item 3 on page 2 of the
Agreement (dealing with the Highway 212 alignment) be dealt with in a
separate agreement. Peter Beck, attorney for CPT, stated they are willing
to prepare and record the necessary documents . Jerry Jenko, representing
CPT; was also present.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt the Developer's Agree-
ment with the condition that a workable document dealing with the Highway
212 alignment be achieved. Motion carried unanimously .

X. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOAR'IS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council_Members
1. Edstrom - expressed concern regarding the policy of issuing building
permits on parcels of less than five acres . There is not a "grandfather
clause" in the Ordinance,
Edstrom suggested a joint meeting of the Human Rights and Services Com-
mission and the Council be held prior to the time Rae Bly, leaves the job
of Coordinator. The purpose of the meeting would be to discuss the needs
and services in South Hennepin County, It was agreed that the best time
to meet would be on July 27 , 1981 , at 7:30 p,m, which is the regularly
scheduled nieeting of the Human Rights and Services Commission,
2. Bentley - noted the Chamber of Commerce is beginning a housing
and trdn—, ortatiorr study in thr, City of Eden Prairie. This is
an intensive study arid will use the resources of the City,
developers , builders , schools , and any other available resources .
City Council Minutes -11- July 7, 1981
B. Report of City Attorney
City Attorney Pauly reported he now has a contract for deed for the Seifert
property for the Red Rock Park.
The Swedlund/Riley Lake property option has been declined.
The Court issued an order for judgement for plaintiff in the tax increment fi-
narcing case. The order is very short with a short memorandum attached to it;
the essence of which is that the City terminated the plan and the plaintiff pre-
vails. However, no monetary award was made to the plaintiff as he requested.
Also the Court did not make any order relative to the rollback as had been re-
quested by plaintiff. The memorandum contains mistatements of fact as to the
relief requested by plaintiff and as to the joinder of the HRA in the case.
The Court stated that plaintiff asked for an injunction, which he did not; and
that the City, rather than plaintiff, asked for the HRA to be joined as a party.
It is not clear from the order what judgement will be entered by the clerk.
Consequently the Court will be asked to clarify the order so the resulting
judgement will not have any potential effect on the City' s tax increment fi-
nancing plans for the future.
C. Report of City Manager
1. Status report on Public Safety Building_ and Maintenance Facilities
City Manager Jullie introduced Roger Martin and Bob Lambert of InterDesign
C Inc. , who have done a Site Feasibility Study for accornnodatina City services.
Roger Martin gave a slide presentation and explained that an analysis of each
of three sites was conducted to determine those essential land factors which
might be considered in evaluating any alternative schemes for these parcels.
Each alternative was then evaluated in terms of 36 different criteria which
were felt critical by both the City Staff and the InterDesign Team. Details
are contained in their written report. The three sites under study are:
1) present City Hall site on County Road 4; 2) Mitchell Road site, present
location of Public Safety. Water Plant, and Fire Station; and 3) West 78th
Street, present location of a Fire Station - near Highway 169.
Planning Director Enger said the InterDesign Team and City Staff are now at
a point where one or more site plans should be selected and worked on speci-
fically and developed more fully. Both the Staff and the architects are rec-
ommending one of two alternatives: l) everything located at the present City
Hall location , or 2) Public Safety at the West 78th Street location, Public
Works and Maintenance functions at the Mitchell Road location and City Hall
retained at its existing location.
Edstrom asked Director of Public Safety which would be his choice of locations
for a new Public Safety Building. Hacking responded the West 78th site be-
cause of its convenience to a fire station, it is near the commercial area
which is a heavily serviced area; the City Hall site would create considerable
f "dead time.
City Council Minutes -12- July 7, 1981
Tangen wondered how the criteria had been weighted. Lambert explained
that many factors seemed to balance out each other.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Edstrom, to refer the Report to Staff so
each Department Head can make a statement regarding the pros and cons of
each site, and then to be referred to the Planning Commission for its comments
and suggestions. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley: moved, seconded by Edstrom, to extend the meeting beyond the 11 :30 p.m.
time of adjournment to midnight. Motion carried unanimously.
D. Report of Director of Community Services
1. Change Orders for Community Center
Director of Community Services Lambert spoke to the memo of July 2, 1981.
The Parks , Recreation, and Natural Resources Commission raet last evening
and recommended tinted concrete finish for the lobby floor, and the Zamboni
water valves should be changed at the expense of the architect.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Edstrom, to accept the change orders
as outlined in the July 2, 1981, memo, with the following: under item 1 ,
